I watched that Charlie Bronson movie recently but am in two minds about it.
On the one hand I liked the entertainment & the violence & that gritty kind of feel to a film but on tuther I think it's all BS.
Worth a watch though.

Aaaand my 3rd film for today...

No country for old men

It's a Coen brothers film.

That says about everything I need to say about it. Almost no redeeming features in it at all, other than it was under 2 hours long.

How it won Oscars I'll never know.

2/10

Kingdom of heaven: The Directors Cut

I'm not going to go into detail on this one but i'll put it this way.

The original cut: 7/10

The directors cut: 9/10

It really is much better.

Death Wish?

I've got Bronson in my unwatched downloads films folder, I had a flick through it, and then spent the evening reading about him instead.

There Will Be Blood

Ummmm.

I really enjoyed Daniel Day Lewis' performance in this - especially towards the end. It's a huge change in his character.

Most of the other characters annoyed me - especially Eli. It may well have been the religion aspect of that character though that wound me up. He was such a whiney little git at the end that I was very glad about his misfortune.

2 and a half hours.... About 40 minutes too long.

3.5/10

Inglourious Basterds



During World War II a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. The Basterds soon cross paths with a French-Jewish teenage girl, who runs a cinema in Paris which is targeted by the soldiers.

10/10
it wasn't what I was expecting. Only 4 action/killing scenes. But omg what a brilliant film best of the year.

Most movies would benefit from losing around a 1/3rd of their running time.

Watchmen


After the success of 300, director Zack Snyder turns to another comic adaptation with WATCHMEN. The smart series from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons centres on a group of masked heroes who find their talents banned in a fictional America. Someone begins to take down the former heroes one by one, and a strange character named Rorschach begins to investigate.

9/10
What can I say, Truly awesome.
Thought provoking, action, comic book.
It's a great film, The shot work reminded me of sin city, whilst the use of great relevant songs reminded me of Donnie darko. All mixed in with a bit of X-men, famous 4 and a Darth Vader mentality. Only negative is it is a long film and it could do with being slightly shorter. Which Is why it doesn't get a 10/10.

Currys arrived, now to watch Knowing

Black Sheep.

Sheep that turn into zombie killer sheep. Highly amusing!

Not really. There are a lot that could be shortened, but many of them are pretty much right or even could do with extending.
